Using flexible and well-equipped test facilities, Southwest Research Institute (SwRI) staff test hydraulic components and systems to verify and validate new designs and to measure existing design characteristics.

Evaluation of Hydraulic Characteristics

SwRI evaluates a wide range of hydraulic-related characteristics, such as:

Efficiency
Flow loss
Burst and proof pressure
Durability
Noise
Pressure transients
Environmental

Hydraulic Component Testing

Tests are performed on a wide range of hydraulic components such as:

Pumps and motors
Valves
Accumulators
Systems
